The Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP) is the peak body for philosophy in Australasia. The chief purpose of the AAP is to promote philosophy in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Among the means that it follows to achieve this end, the AAP runs an annual conference, publishes two journals, awards various prizes, sponsors postgraduate and undergraduate philosophical activities, maintains affiliations with numerous other organisations that aim to promote philosophy and philosophical activity, and promotes philosophy in schools, cafes, pubs, and everywhere else that philosophy may be found. == History == The AAP was formed in 1922. Until 1958, it was as the ''Australasian Association of Psychology and Philosophy''.〔("Philosophy",''The Queenslander'', (Saturday, 23 December 1922), p.3. )〕〔("Psychology and Philosophy: An Australian Society", ''The West Australian'', (Monday, 23 April 1923), p.11. )〕 The first issue of the journal appeared in 1923, and the first annual conference was held in Sydney in 1923. When it was founded, the Association had a number of State branches in Australia, including a branch in Victoria and a branch in New South Wales. These state branches had all ceased functioning well before the close of the twentieth century. A New Zealand Division of the Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAPNZ) was formally established in 1978. It was constituted by AAP members who were or had been active in New Zealand philosophy. The NZ Division held an Annual Conference in early December. The first such conference was held at Canterbury University College, Christchurch in 1953. AAPNZ was formally disestablished in 2011. The organisation of the Annual Conference in early December is now the responsibility of the New Zealand Association of Philosophy (NZAP). Singapore became a region of the AAP in 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australasian Association of Philosophy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
